1.5+ G's??

[RenegadeUnlimited]

I think the Accelerometer Gauge has a preset ceiling of 1.5 g for all 4 settings.

If it is capped at 1.5, how would one go about raising it?

Realistically speaking, you're never going to come close to 1.5g of static cornering grip... you're only going to reach those levels under "jerk" movements, i.e losing control of the car, overcorrecting, and when the car "snaps" back, it could go higher.

Actually, quite the contrary eh/mec.

I was really hoping one of the track guys would chime in on this.........Not sure if this forum is really the best place to ask track related GT350 questions. If someone has a recommendation of a better place to ask this question, please let me know.

The GT350R "EASILY" gets into the 1.5+ range for lateral and braking G's, and "yes" on a real track.

OMG NO YOU DIDN'T!!!!!!! HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA Because no one on this forum tracks their cars or is on TrackMustangs HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH

MT has the R at 1.09G of lateral accel WTF do they know. WTH is Randy Pobst!!!!???

Yeah probably not the best place to ask questions if you want physics related answers which don't support your fancies.

A car simply cannot achieve lateral grip g's or acceleration g's equal to that of braking. It's impossible. The newest Tesla "almost" comes close to equaling acceleration levels to braking.

If you take any of the tests of the 350R and look at the 60-0mph or 70-0mph tests that give you distances, you can calculate the deceleration rate. I used caranddriver's 70-0mph distance of 146ft for my very quick calculation.

The end result was an acceleration a = 11.008 m/s^2. Considering gravity is 9.8066 m/s^2, the ratio gives an approximate value of 1.12g of force. All magazines have also tested STATIC grip of the car to be in the 1.08-1.10 range. My own digital gauge tells me I achieved over 1.00g of acceleration, though I know better that its BS and an error.

Soooo where are you getting "easily" eclipse 1.5g's? Sounds like you're reading too much into the amusing, but highly unscientific/accurate, g-force gauges in the car.

But instead of even attempting to converse on the situation, you chose to make snide remarks towards me and the forum. Because many of the forum members on are aren't highly skilled drivers who track their cars VERY often, others who have raced professionally, and others who are engineers (like myself) who, clearly, have a better grasp on physics than you do.

Want a better place to ask? Try a physics text book. Dickhead.

Huh? You can most certainly accelerate faster than deceleration. Look at top fuel dragsters. They can't brake for crap compared to their acceleration.

OMG!!! Here we go!!!! LOLOLOLOLOLOLO

Airplanes fly fast and "cant brake for crap compared to their acceleration" stay in context.

Don't feed the trolls haha

Great example... dude, clearly we are talking about OUR cars... aka the GT350, which is a street car lol

Theoretically if big enough brakes were fitted to a dragster, it could stop quicker than it could accelerate simply due to the extreme amount of grip available

 

[Zitrosounds]

Reading is good." brakes can decelerate the car two to four times faster than the engine can accelerate it" EDIT: on street road going vehicles.

Yeah and I have a 14" penis.

Not happening. The highest G's I've ever hit are 1.19 and that's on autocross. At Road America I was just under 1 during most sustained lateral forces.

I just want to see this thread run it's course.

One of the only ways we'all get to experience acceleration higher than deceleration.
